Shopping, parties, ugly sweater contests are all on the agenda during Christmas. It’s easy to get sucked into the propaganda of Christmas and forget what it was meant to be. A time of joy and PEACE.

The Prince of Peace, Jesus, was born. He came to love us and bring peace to all nations. Rushing around shopping and having parties isn’t bad but we need time to slow down and enjoy this season. Time passes by so fast and Christmas is such a joyous time.

How can we focus on the true meaning of Christmas? Here are 3 Ways!

  1. Allow Yourself and Your family free time to relax and enjoy time together! Be at peace!
  2. Show love by giving to a family in need. Look for ways to help others around you.
  3. Spend time with family talking about the REAL Christmas story. (Bible – Luke 2)

A Prayer For You

Thank You Lord for this reminder. Give us fresh eyes to understand the true meaning of Christmas. Show us how we can better serve You and others around us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
